DTT Roland Garros tournament is not in the games thread but it the directory of Roland Garros (where we have TT thread, PAW thread, ...). Do we need to do like this from now on and put the thread in the directory of the main tournament of the week ?

I actually did this to have some new players

From now on, we'll put in the tournament thread if it's the only tournament off the week. When there are more tourneys in a week, we'll put it in the games thread. Okay ?

I really think this is a good idea.

2 weeks ago I won Monte Carlo and noone seems to have noticed that at that time.

It´s not that I want to be praised (but you can keep doing that ), but if these threats are on the pages of the tournaments a lot more people will regularly attend them. The number of people forgetting to pick will probably get down as well. If only a few people post regularly in the weekly dtt threat one tends to forget about this game.
This nearly happened to me, allthough I was playing the final

Overall, I agree with you but I think that we should be consistent and not saying that we should post in the thread of the tournament when there is one big tournament and in the games thread when there is more than one tournament. This would add confusion. I would prefer that we post in the directory of the main tournament of the week.

I am also thinking about some other things which could bring more players in the game and prevent from players forgetting to post picks:

- put more emphasis on the ranking and especially focus on the "DTT Doubles Race". If we say that the 8 best pairs will be qualified for the DTT Masters at the end of the week, this could bring more attraction.
- give priority to matches on the main tournament of the week and grant points based on this main tournament (having for all other weeks than MS and GS always the same points (250 ...) is not very reflecting reality.
- in the DTT template, have a section with "Hall of Fame" reminding the winners and finalists of the previous weeks and the statistics of the game so far.
- improve quality in the management of the tournaments:
- post OOP early enough so that players have time to submit it (typically before 22:00 CET for European tournaments).
- post diffs as soon as matches have started.
- make a quick report of the DTT Matches of the Day.
- Stop including challenger matches. Though I am very interested by these matches, I think that many players would prefer to focus on matches of the main Tour.

Another key thing is that the number of volunteers to be DTT Manager is very low, which makes it quite difficult to handle week after week (especially for Drikke who has to be manager nearly 50% of time). Maybe, we should focus more on weeks with important tournaments and skip some other weeks for DTT.

Okay for me, but we'll keep on making a not in game topic

Don't agree, because there will be less tourneys and the few which will be hold can be hold with this point system.

- in the DTT template, have a section with "Hall of Fame" reminding the winners and finalists of the previous weeks and the statistics of the game so far.

Okay for me if anyone wants to do this, I don't have time to do this now, maybe in a month.

- improve quality in the management of the tournaments:

I can't post difs right now due to school, I've to go to school one more month, then my managing will improve

- post OOP early enough so that players have time to submit it (typically before 22:00 CET for European tournaments).
- post diffs as soon as matches have started.See previous
- make a quick report of the DTT Matches of the Day.

I do't get what you mean

- Stop including challenger matches. Though I am very interested by these matches, I think that many players would prefer to focus on matches of the main Tour.

Indeed, very good idea. I'll make a new calendar today or tomorrow
